Wherever required the proposal may be supported with the statistical data etc. so that it is not dropped on account of any such infirmity. In case of local manufacturer claiming tariff protection on it’s finished products or concession on its raw materials, then they should use a separate annexure which is provided along with the other annexures. Without this format it will not be possible to process these types of proposals, the FBR added.
